Alternate proposal for what to do with ICE agents:
Trying to get more customers with an effort that only works once you've already decided to be a customer is pure Special CEO Genius, please pay this person eleventy billion dollars immediately
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

It’s really important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of ACTUAL EVIDENCE that they’re better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced.

Media outlets need to stop rewarding message-control efforts like this.
If you send them a question and they respond with an irrelevant talking point, print "they did not answer our questions" instead of broadcasting their message.

"Police dishonesty, even on the stand and under oath, is so common that it has its own name (“testilying”), and it has forced prosecutor offices to create what are called “Brady Lists” of officers they will not put on the stand out of fear they’ll commit perjury."
My latest, in @msnbc.com, on how ICE, CBP, and Bovino may be overplaying their hand in Chicago.
Also: this will only make hiring go ICE harder.
And: I hope ppl appreciate that the lying Judge Ellis calls out is NOT an aberration, but a very consistent problem w police claims.

Today, ICE was terrorizing my local neighborhood trailer park and its residents. Unmarked vehicles with unmarked plates. When asked, they confirmed they were part of customs and immigration. They simply camped out surveilling, yet caused a stir.
This is terrorism. Funded by the federal government.

In my brief time as an op-ed editor (<year), Brettbug Stephens argued Ashkenazis might be genetically superior, & Tom Cotton called for violence against George Floyd protestors. Some of us were constantly pushing back. I met with Sulzberger multiple times. Lip service was given, nothing changed.
A lot of nyt folks, me among them, believed we could change the culture and the coverage from the inside. That by working within channels, we could convince the leadership of its obligation to cover trans ppl fairly.
In hindsight I’ve come to think I was naive.
